Hi girls looking for some advice I've recently took and offer from vivastreet for a trial month just wandering your thoughts if it's worth it as I've had no bookings from there but loads of tw calls any advice???
-
I've got the same offer and yes lots and lots of calls, I seem to be particularly popular between midnight and dawn receiving dozens of calls from what I would call the dregs of the punting world, in short they have been impolite, monosyllabic and twatish.
-
Hi Helen yes I am getting loads of calls and TEXS in the evening and all day calls are asking for details yet pics prices location and services are all stated so what details are they wanting it's getting a little annoying
-
Typical TWs who don't read profiles, they just scan for your phone number. Or they just want to try and get you to chat with them.
-
Do u think it's worth advertising with them in future then
-
I took a paid ad out with them once, I didn't put my number but did have on my ad "for further details visit: my website" Not one of them could follow these simple instruction as every message I recieved was on the Vivastreet message system and everyone read along the lines of "What's your services?" "What's your rates?" and the usual abundance of tw messages.
I would never advertise with them again.
-
Ditto the above re. timewasters, including phone wankers - literally. My profile is brief, but still got calls from men I state in capital letters that I do not see...
I've had a couple of decent texts/emails asking for more info, so I can send them my website URL, but more inane phonecalls of the 'tell me about yourself' type.
The one booking I did get from it - I asked why he used Vivastreet. He said he had an adult content blocker on his phone as his son often used it, so no Adultwork, but Vivastreet is OK.
Very much doubt I'll pay them for an ad going forward.
-

Their may be the odd diamond punter amongst the rubbish but its the continual BS calls and texts all day and night I could do without.
I'm 50/50 right now as its only been in a week and I still have 3 weeks to go but I do know if I did re advertise with Viva street I'd only pay their ?40 a month option to just list my profile and hope possible sane normal punters will search under the age and location search bar for a mature escort as I'm one of the few in the 50+ age range so right now the jury's out.

I find viva street works well in some areas yet other areas it doesn't.
Yes you do get TWs and sex texters from viva street, but you get these from other advertising as well. I use the change location and list my website. I do find it does bring additional clients in, especially when I'm touring. But as I mentioned it works in some areas and not in others.
Personally I do find that I get a R.O.I (return on investment) on my money. However it is one of the priciest advertising around online.

Completely second what saturn said
-
The amount of calls I've had and not one booking from it well it's the 2nd week so il monitor it wen it expires
-
I used to be on vivastreet but I didn't put my mobile number up most of the time. That kept the number of enquiries down to a tolerable and quite decent level.
I would outline my prices per hour and half hour and then the punters would email me. It is a good way to get a feel of somebody too as we don't have their profile, if they can put together decent English it is better!
The only reason I came off is because a couple of people found out as it is a public site ..... Shame as I was really quite busy.
-
Think I will try that lush xx
-
thinking to advertise in vivastreet London as AW has been quiet lately. But I'm not sure, VS is quite expensive actually so I thought I'd check with you all first. And also, there are different advertising ways like featured and VIP carrousel, which one gives best result? I'd go for the VIP carrousel one as it's on the top of the listings and at the same time the most expensive although I hope it's a good idea?
-
I tried VS Birmingham only to get a gazillion calls from men (boys) who weren't my type of client. Only 3 clients in a month so weighed against the cost of advertising I don't find it value for money.
-
I tried it and didn't get one booking - but then I'm outcall only and don't display my number. All I got were timewasters who couldn't write a coherent email and one guy who'd never seen an escort before and kept asking stupid questions.
-
I have heard it's only good in certain areas. I've been told in Leicester it is quite good.
-
It makes my phone ring like crazy.... but the vast majority are idiots.
I'm not sure if I've ever had a good client from Vivastreet. I may have, but I can't remember. I mean, I've seen clients from there but they haven't been good ones that I can remember.
They somehow seem to attract the clueless numpties.
-
I did the month's free trial, and only got one booking, but umpteen calls from timewasters and morons.
The only positive I can say for it is that the client I did get has a young son who uses his phone, so it has adult content block on it and he thus can't access AW etc., whereas VS is fine.
-
alright, how about London, is it a good option here? and how do I get the month free trial and what kind of advertising is included in the trial?

Ask on the Vivastreet thread in the Lion's Den and the person who admins for Vivastreet will see your post and answer your question.
The one thing I will say for them is they have good customer service.
-
Was touring and used Vivastreet, big mistake. Had an ad on the Carousel and still not one decent booking.
I still wonder how to tour successfully in London because I won't give my personal details to AW, so London doesn't really work for me. If anyone has suggestions, I am happy to take your advise.

I hear Backpage is good for London. I find it fairly good for Manchester but have never tried it in London.
-
Hi,
I used to use Vivastreet regularly for years both when it was free and when you had to start paying, as a touring escort I can say for Birmingham it was really good for me and I would get quite afew clients from there, for Manchester nothing but time wasters and cheapskates trying to haggle, for London I didnt get one booking from there or many calls, Leicester wasnt too bad, Glasgow loads of time wasters and a good fair bookings,
Hope that helps x

I've been on viva street for years, I wouldn't ever get rid of it.

Whereabouts are you located?
It seems that different sites work in different places. Someone else in this thread has experienced the same thing as I have in Manchester: phone rings plenty but they're all idiots. I have had good results from Backpage but I gather it's useless for other places.
It can be helpful to Google "Escorts in NAMEOFYOURTOWN" and similar things to see what pops up. But keep in mind that this can be a double-edged sword: the first thing to pop up on Google will be the first thing clueless idiots who aren't experienced punters will find. Vivastreet is very high in the rankings for Manchester. That's why my phone rings a lot from it. It just doesn't translate to bookings very well.
-
I'm going to give Vivastreet a miss for a couple of months. Although it makes my phone ring with lots of twats, I do think they work hard to improve the site. They're adding things like being able to tick boxes for what services you offer and will be introducing a search capacity for punters for this. They're rolling out a plan to separate agency listings from independents, too. I think that I will check back with them in a couple of months after those changes have gone into effect to see if it improves things.
One of my goals this year is to become far less reliant on AW for my business. It's not easy to do this because AW is so much the leader in the business and it's very easy to be complacent. Going outside of AW means spending more money and learning new ways to screen for good clients. There's also increased admin involved: if I change prices or services I have to change that on every site/profile I have. I know some girls do well with Twitter and blogging but that takes time and energy that I don't always have. It can take time to build things up but I'm taking little steps to do that on a regular basis and I hope it pays off.

Sorry to ask but Why do you want to be less reliant on AW? I find it quite useful, organized and helpful in the sense that, I can organize my working days and how I want to be featured, and I don't need to spend a lot of time on it, plus the private gallery allows us to make money to pay for the paid features.
-
I agree. I don't want to extend from AW at present because I like that I can not show my number and organise bookings and be almost certain they aren't timewasters based on their feedback. It keeps the work of being independent quite streamlined I think. It's why I stay away from vivastreet etc... I don't really like taking phone bookings while I'm working part time. I don't have the time for timewasters.

So far, that has been my experience as well. But AW has gone down for days at a time in the past (not recently but I think it happened a couple of years ago). And we all know that they can capriciously and arbitrarily yank your profile for any reason they want - a malicious report from a rival or disgruntled punter can do it.
-
I've been on viva street for years, I wouldn't ever get rid of it.
Whereabouts are you located?
I have used it in Exeter, Bristol and Brighton. Although, Ii do find that the local free ad type websites (trade it/ friday ad) work better for me.
Also - have you noticed that Viva Street are now allowing you to display your prices for no charge. I wonder how this will affect business, coz I get an awful lot of calls asking for price then saying "ah, yeah I'll call you back".
-
I was always able to list my prices within the description. I still got calls asking how much because guys don't bother reading!
-
It isn't essential to display a number on vivastreet ads.
I have used it with just email contact only to good effect.
-
When I was whoring I used vivastreet most of the time, along with AW. I'm with Ivy and wouldn't do without it but it was cheaper then.
The last time AW went down for three days was back in June 2013 and girls were coming online screaming like heidless chickens. We suggested they got listed on other directories and sites but I doubt they listened.
Sites like AW are going to get targeted because when it goes down so many people are inconvenienced. It's the same with the other big sites too.
-
I'm not going to renew when this month runs out. It definitely makes my phone ring but I've had almost no viable calls that translated into bookings. I think there was one so I got my money back. And he was a bit of a pain in the ass. As far as I know, I have never had a good booking from Vivastreet.
I think this may just be the situation in Manchester. Other cities may fare differently.
It's a pity as I do think their customer service is very good and it's not their fault that the click throughs are coming from idiots.

You make an excellent point and that is why I'm dedicating some time and energy this year to finding other places to advertise. Unfortunately, VS hasn't really been worth it to me. Yes, I made my money back but it's got to the point where the ring of my secondary/test marketing work phone makes me wince.
I'm still happy with Backpage and there's a regional site/board that is sort of OK-ish (although focuses heavily on HE massage and parlours).
-
I use the link to my website & in my website i have the link to my adultwork. So they can have a thorough look over & weed out the timewasters really. I have deffinatley had a lot of calls from vivastreet, however, given there isn't much competition in my area on vivastreet, i found spending the ?60 instead of ?100 did the job. (compared to phone clicks & veiws and it was pretty much the same last month vs this month)
-
Last month I didn't think it was worth it, (although I got a couple of bookings) I'm in Scotland! I renewed a week ago, as things were quiet and have had bookings from it, so I am happy to say that it does work. Although you get lots of timewasters on it, but that's just a problem with the job I guess. I am outcall only, so not sure if that would be the info. you are after?
-
Reading about all the problems being encountered on the above, is it worth advertising there?
I am going on tour and frankly, if I can't move locations overnight like I can on AW, I just don't see the point. Also there seem to be issues with pictures, payment by debit card and prices.
I have until next week to decide but right now it looks like a major headache not to mention pricey, although if it works it's worth it, as with all advertising. But, I don't need another headache and once one problem is resolved it looks like another rears its ugly head!!
Experiences please?
-
I think its one of those it works for some and not for others.
I did a free trial and even though it is the very first site on Google for my area apart from 1 or 2 timewasters I got nothing from it.
-
I've advertised on and off on VS, and have location issues - their database puts me somewhere else.
Anyhow, I agree completely with the through the night "r u workin'" type calls and texts.
I have recently had probably 2 very decent bookings(1 definitely, the other I'm not sure it came from VS!) from there from 2 months of advertising. I also have the same guys phoning me in direct reponse to the VS whenever I advertise, over a period of 5 years!!!! Each time it's the same questions, and off down the line of 'will you really suck my cock?" ::)
It does work but it's like the old newspaper ads and requires patience.
-
What are their registration requirements? Do you need to 'verify' with documentation like AW?
-
I've decided to give it a miss and have left my thoughts for Vivastreet in the Spamming section.
It looks like a godawful mess of a thing and not worth the effort. I have enough hassle without trying to advertise being one of them. :FF
-
Viva street has been brilliant for me. This is my second month and still doing ok from it, so much so I don't bother much now with AW. Of course if and more than likely when things change I will change my strategy. Back page was a non starter for me only ever got TW and eejits. I still get calls from AW but I hardly log into there now.
-
Maybe it depends on your location, Carmel?
I could give it a go for the first week of my tour and see how it goes.
-
10days free trial but it's asking for 19.99 when I do my advert. Anyone else had this? Is it a scam?
"You can't refuse
Suck it and see...
Are you an independent escort? Well if so, I want to give you an ad on vivastreet. For nothing!
I?ve got thousands of independent escorts like you advertising on vivastreet.co.uk because last month each ad got an average of 481 responses! But I?m not trying to sell you anything?
I know it?s hard nowadays to work out where is best to put your ads. I'm so confident you?ll be happy with the response your ads get on vivastreet.co.uk I?m going to give you a 10 day trial. For nothing.
There?s no catch. You don?t have to put in a credit card that will rebill or anything sneaky like that. It?s just a simple ten day trial. You can have an advert for nothing, for 10 days.
But it gets better?
I have enhancements that I charge for to make adverts more prominent. Bumping them to the top, making them ?featured? etc. I'm going to give you all these enhancements for nothing as well, to really turbo charge your experience with us.
I know vivastreet.co.uk works for the girls I speak to, so I want to prove it will work for you.
Obviously, after the trial, when you are happy with the responses you get I would be delighted to sell you an ad, but for now, I want you to just try it, and see how it works for you. :)
Take the trial now - click here.
T&Cs apply. This offer is only valid for new advertisers. The offer will expire on 14th August 2015. "

Thanks hotblondie, I did send a reply saying it's asking for payment but I'll send one to that email account. Fingers crossed it works x

Look at the thread on Adverts where there is a lot of info on Vivastreet.
You should contact Finny directly as you can pay directly into their bank account. The automated system can charge you but Finny will explain it all.
VS has been fantastic for me; I can't recommend it highly enough.
-
Vivastreet been great for me too.

I'm seriously fed up with Vivastreet. I only got one client in the two months I was on there. I didn't renew my Ad and decided to list elsewhere. I then got two cold calls from some guy at Vivastreet on my new number trying to get me to advertise on Vivastreet. I told him how ineffective my Ad had been there ( while doing fine elsewhere ) and the same guy had the gall to call me back a few days later. I recognised his voice.
-
What is this about vivastreet paying ugly mugs a membership fee for each escort advertised with them. Is ugly mugs pay per use type thing now. If so EI UM are free still.

Lacey, it very much depends on your location. The only way to know is to try it and see. If I hadn't used VS in my last destination I would have got very few bookings. Three quarters of the bookings came from VS and the remaining quarter from AW. I don't believe it is wise to have all your eggs in one basket as AW can go down and also not all guys know of its existence.
I always pay for featuring and VIP - yes it's extra but if you add up 'local escort search' and available today' on AW it's swings an roundabouts.
Excuse the overuse of metaphor ;D
-

I got an e mail from them but haven't had time to look at it yet. It saves me having to register though and I think it shows they are being conscientious about keeping us safe, especially as a lot of foreign girls may not know about Ugly Mugs.
As for 'free' membership I can't recall if it was free or you had to pay a ?1 or something like that.
-
This is being covered in the Vivastreet ad thread - can we try not to spread the same topic over different sections please? It only means people miss things.
In a nutshell (and for anybody who might be under a similar misapprehension to above), National Ugly Mugs is NOT part of Vivastreet, and is FREE to use for all sex workers irrespective of where or even whether they advertise. Vivastreet cannot register you to receive Ugly Mugs alerts or use the site features, you have to do it yourself.
What VS have been doing is some particularly twattish and misleading promotional emailing, hence the above.
-
Is it worth to pay for being feutured on vs ?
-
I do advertise on vivastreet sometimes and I find it does work and brings in the extra calls. Yes sometimes they are timewasters but I tend to get a lot of timewasters and no shows from adultwork. Its around 29.99 to advertise for the month but its all the extras they charge for like featuring it and VIP and showing your website which makes it really expensive. I put an ad on vivastreet this week as I have been finding adultwork really quiet.

Yeh thats why i asked, i already paid to have a listing and they advised to pay for feuturing as well i dont need vip it seems everyone on there pay extra and is no point as i wont stand out anyway. I also made a mistake and tick the box not to have my real number displayed which led to a 0 calls today- i didnt know clients have to pay extra to call through this number. I will wait til monday and if my profile on aw is not back i will pay feuturing on vs. Funny wnough i got a booking today from aphrodite lounge- very nice guy lol
-

I am featured this week and I havent had 1 booking from viva street, also the website visits they claim i have had dont tally with my actual website statistics, think I am going to stop using them
-
It depends where you are as to whether it's any good. A good way to tell us to type in Google escorts and the area you are in and see if Vivastreet shows. X
-
I tried VS Birmingham only to get a gazillion calls from men (boys) who weren't my type of client. Only 3 clients in a month so weighed against the cost of advertising I don't find it value for money.
Not much different for me
-
For me Vivastreet was good when it was free...I've tried on and off since then but all it seems to bring me is timewasters and idiots and I'm not quite sure why :(
-
Its annoying as its 1st for London so I probably should try it when I'm working there. But as just now if I'm there its only really for 1 day, and with the bad reputation it has at times I don't want to risk spending that sort of money if its not going to work.
-
I tried Vivastreet the other month, had 997 views, handful of calls-and not one job-seems to have more of its fair share of out of work dossers passing the time, couldnt make use of their "free trial" from the slagging off Aw link page about its customer service so I paid,- but the best bit was Vivas customer service was absolutely appalling and would never use again, at least Aw reply to email enquiries even if it isnt the answer you want!
-
They keep making me advertise in massage and escort section which costs more and only get calls for full service, yet all the thai ladies who do the same as me are allowed to advertise in just the massage section, waste of 80 odd quid its the last time I will be placing an ad with them.

I wasn't aware there was a massage section as well. I would like to keep escort advert but be able to go in that section too.

Make a new email then because they wont allow it, another thing I find very odd, a few hours after my web link package expired on there today, I had 2 calls asking for my website details..... never EVER had that before as for TV saying out of work dossers calling, could be in work dossers ..................... ::)

Hi aĺl im new to this site but been escorting for 2 half years and i have found viva street very good but could depend on where you live xx

Where in the country do you work from?

Hi i live in leeds xx
-
It's a bit of a lotto with the postcode on viva, I've had to call them twice this month to change the address. One location came out like 20miles out of the mapped area when I'd put the exact postcode in. Very annoying is that.
-
Do you ladies recieve alot of traffic from vivastreet? Thinking of doing an ad for the weekend?
-
depend where you are! and other criteria! i suggest to try for a week and see if work for you! many girls work well with Viva!
me in London not so much! but i do not show my number so it is more difficult....
-
It only works in some areas. The quality of clients is also dubious in some locations. There are a couple of threads on this kicking around.
-
I don't like it much you can't put availble now so get clients annoyed I'm not. I pay for it to go up a week if I took it down for example Monday becaue I want working and then put it back up wed I would have to pay another 10.
-
I've got the same offer and yes lots and lots of calls, I seem to be particularly popular between midnight and dawn receiving dozens of calls from what I would call the dregs of the punting world, in short they have been impolite, monosyllabic and twatish.
Yep me too never again waste of time those guys .

I just remove my number if I'm not working but want to keep the add in place

Thats a good idea to just do that less hassle
-

Total waste of time plus more risk of drunks off there face and dont answer door when you arrive plus got all there mates in there. I dont do late outcall bookings to avoid these types.
-
Yes I might try that thanks
-
Yep me too never again waste of time those guys .
I have similar experience of late night and Twatt ish calls in response to VS ads, I have however had some very good bookings from it.
So I prepare myself, and am firm but polite on the phone. Anyone phoning to throw "Are u working?" or "were are you", "how much" etc now gets a "Sorry not seeing anyone who can't speak to me like a human being" and phone down.
Phone goes off at night.

I am exactly the same ..... it does attract more fantasists BUT I have had lots of good bookings from Viva and some have turned into regs, it's a numbers game. Its cheaper than AW, work it out (if you put your phone number on and/or feature.
Definitely well worth doing. :D
-
Its more expensive than adultwork if you want multi repost to get you to the top of the page, because you can't do that unless you have featured. So you can pay for multi repost but it wont work unless you pay for featured too. Not sure why people dont just use Back page instead of VS, VS doesn't create clients we do. The clients will look wherever the girls advertise, Vivastreet are unscrupulously greedy with their fees.

I just use their ?5.99 weekly that is all I am prepared to pay and I still get bookings.
Higher margin for no shows mind.

You know what really annoys me about vivastreet? For sure I seem to get more bookings when my ad is on there for sure and it really makes a difference in volume of calls when it isnt but most, in fact nearly all of the timewasters, rude, 'tacky' or cheapstake clients seem to come from vivastreet. So cant say its an amazing site but all depends on what your willing to put up with I suppose. That is just based on my own personal experiences :)

Seems that cost varies from area to area.
My area it's ?9.99 without weblink, if I add my weblink (which for me is pretty essential and I find the quality enquiries will visit my site) it's another ?2.99 = ?12.98 per week.
The Premium/VIP/Location moves are the really pricey bits, I never use those!

Yes a lot of them are idiots but about once a week I will get somebody really nice and normal from there lol. Still worth it for ?6.

Not sure why people dont just use Back page instead of VS, VS doesn't create clients we do.
I don't know for sure, but if you are completely outside their main geographical areas, not sure punters in these areas would even bother checking. But then if you are near their main geographical areas, (like London/home counties etc) then you get more hits? I never get to hear this free ad being recommended by anyone working in the Northern regions, for example.

Wow ?5.99?I just Paid ?9.99...it used to be ?7.99 I wonder why it's gone up?!!
-
Why has it gone up I wonder I'm only in the Leeds region
-
I thought ?9.99 was the lowest bracket. How wrong was I?

Depends on location sweetmilf, ?9.99 is the lowest bracket in my area.

Hope it doesn't go up anymore as I thought ?7.99 was enough!!

Unless you want to stay on the 7th-8th page you have to have featured and multi repost in Birmingham, I suppose it depends what City and how many girls are advertising on there, I stoppped advertising on VS because they keep forcing me to go into escort and massage section and had 2 clients turn up expecting sex, I only do happy ending massage, it seems only the Thai girls are allowed to stay in massage section, strangely.

Been absolute rubbish in Gatwick and I keep changing the postcode.

Its more expensive than adultwork if you want multi repost to get you to the top of the page, because you can't do that unless you have featured. So you can pay for multi repost but it wont work unless you pay for featured too. Not sure why people dont just use Back page instead of VS, VS doesn't create clients we do. The clients will look wherever the girls advertise, Vivastreet are unscrupulously greedy with their fees.
I suppose it depends in which area you are, I am in a rural Somerset location and there is no need for featuring or multi post. Adult Work for me is far more expensive. I love Viva ...... Backpage does not work for me, again probably an area thing.

Hi Roxy ive tried vivastreet for business on and off for years and like alot of the other ladies here have said, all ive ever had are a load of idiots and timewasters. I dont bother with VS anymore.
-
viva is ok if you keep very high rates and base on very rich clients
i buy simple ad and spend a bit for twice a day reposting, that's it
all other things carousel featuring makes you get doggy people - and the price! if you charge less than 100 you get those wankers and time wasters
-
I find viva street works well in some areas yet other areas it doesn't.
Yes you do get TWs and sex texters from viva street, but you get these from other advertising as well. I use the change location and list my website. I do find it does bring additional clients in, especially when I'm touring. But as I mentioned it works in some areas and not in others.
Personally I do find that I get a R.O.I (return on investment) on my money. However it is one of the priciest advertising around online.
in what areas does it work?

Yes i think if your too cheap on there it can encourage more timewasters. I have had a several clients say that a lot of the woman on there in same kind of areas at same price lower then some and pictures look very enticing all seem to be controlled by pimps i been told this many times by customers and if pics look really hot girls and cheaper end prices a lot are pimped but that is what the men have said to me not because i know for a fact.
